Another day, another shirtless Ricky Martin photo is riling up the internet.
While the 53-year-old Latin superstar is no stranger to the art of thirst trapping, his latest body-baring snap is making jaws drop for various reasons.
How about we take this to the next level?

On Sunday, Martin allegedly appeared in a slideshow of images showing off his buzzed head, scruffy beard and tatted up muscular torso while lounging on a couch in a bath towel.
If that wasn’t enough to get hearts racing, the fact that he was sitting next to fully clothed Spanish influencer Mario Salvador only served to further peak interest.
Things got even more curious as Salvador shared the images by tagging Martin and leaving the comment “link in bio” with a winking emoji. Oh, there’s more???
…Or is there?
For those that followed through, it lead to Salvador’s Link Me that included all his social accounts and his OF page. Shocker! Salvador is an OF creator.
While he seemed to tease there was more to see from his visit with the Palm Royale star besides the three photos, Martin only added to the confusion of their alleged hangout. In a very Tr*mpian move, the singer responded by directing us to not believe what we were actually seeing with our very own eyes.
“No, no, no, no. Don’t lie, sir. We’ve never met,” he wrote. “Who knows, maybe someday, but not yet.”
Stop messing with us Ricky! We see your arm around Mario! Or is the entire thing AI and a deep fake? Salvador is in the same position in both photos.
Hmmmmm. ????
Martin was in Madrid on Saturday for his latest sold out concert which seems to be around when he could have potentially met up with the Spanish twunk, if in fact the photos are real.
Based on the slew of comments, everyone wants to know if they are just friends? More than friends? Just a fan meeting his idol? Or is the whole thing a deep fake?
Who knows? Whatever the case Salvador is definitely milking the attention for all it’s worth. With the post getting nearly 100K hearts, more than 1200 comments, and nearly 9K shares, he wasn’t letting the Ricky Martin fantasy end there.
The following day, Salvador shared a clip highlighting Martin’s comment negating their entire meeting while insinuating he was hopeful they could make it a reality, which only adds to the photos inauthenticity. All while sauntering around shirtless in a gym, of course.
“Ricky, until it happens,” he said in reference to the Puerto Rican heartthrob’s words, before stopping to flex. “I don’t bite.”
Get this man some water because he is parched!
Who is Mario Salvador?
Salvador is 27 and lives in Valencia, Spain.
He started out as a fitness influencer and has accumulated 113K followers on Instagram, 145K on Twitter, and 170K on TikTok.
It’s unclear how Salvador identifies as his homoerotic content often teases being gay without actually saying it.
Salvador made the jump to OF around two years ago and has racked up more than 200 posts.
As far as his Ricky Martin connection, the pair’s relationship grew closer earlier this year. Sorta. In February, he shared an eight-minute video expressing his shock when Martin started following him on Instagram.
“I’m not going to lie, I was completely blown away when I saw it,” Salvador explained. “In this video, I’ll tell you how I found out, what I think about it, and my reaction to seeing that an artist of his caliber has decided to follow me. Could it be that he likes my content? Or did he just like me?”
Survey says: both!
Martin has not commented further on his seemingly AI relationship with Salvador and has already moved on to Bucharest, Romania for the next stop on his tour.
La vida loca never stops!
